Music transcriptions for euphonium

Abstract:

The study presents an overview of two musical transcriptions for euphonium by Robert Schumann. Five Pieces in Folk Style and Fantasiestücke are two important pieces of literature for euphonium. The euphonium has a number of transcriptions written for it, and these works are a good example of how to approach other transcriptions. Both pieces have their challenges when being prepared to perform, and it is important to understand aspects such as background information, differences between original works and the transcription, and difficulties in the piece that require attention when preparing the work.
